MODERATORS
Hiratsuka Raichō, born on this day in 1886, was an anarchist writer, journalist, political activist, and pioneering Japanese feminist. Her efforts helped legalize Japanese women joining political organizations in 1922.
Upon graduating from university, Hiratsuka founded Japan's first all-women literary magazine, Seitō (青鞜, literally "Bluestocking"), in 1911.
Hiratsuka began the first issue with the words, "In the beginning, woman was the sun", a reference to the Shinto goddess Amaterasu, and to the spiritual independence which women had lost. Adopting the pen name "Raichō" ("Thunderbird"), she began to call for a women's spiritual revolution.
Hiratsuka also founded the New Women's Association with fellow women's rights activist Ichikawa Fusae. It was largely through this group's efforts that the Article 5 of the Police Security Regulations, which barred women from joining political organizations and holding or attending political meetings, was overturned in 1922.

Does popcorn ever go bad? I just microwaved a bag that says "march 2024"
I would say if it doesn't pop then it's past usability. Honestly, there are use and use/freeze by dates for highly perishable items that should typically be adhered to (especially if derived from animals like milk, meat, and to an extent eggs). Then there are "best by" dates and "best if used by" dates which refer to "freshness" and these are at best estimations of when quality in terms of texture and taste MIGHT begin to diminish but are more often a way for manufacturers to cycle new product to the shelf.
It popped and tasted totally normal, for the record.
